Ukrainian forces struck a Russian attack-drone storage, preparation and launch site in occupied Donetsk on September 26-27, the General Staff says. Two ammunition depots in Krepenkyi and occupied Luhansk were also hit, along with logistics and fuel depots. #Ukraine

Ukraine’s NC13 unit deployed upgraded kamikaze ground robots armed with two Bullspike grenade launchers during Operation Vivaldi. The UGVs attacked Russian positions before detonating inside shelters, while operators controlled them from tens of kilometers away. #Ukraine

A bit rich from disgraced former PM Boris Johnson, who created the Channel crossing issue and was in charge during the peak year for arrivals. He also (with Patel) failed to increase asylum claim resources to match increased arrivals, thereby also creating the hotels 'crisis'.

Absolutely fascinating to see Laura Kuenssberg interviewing Burnham, flailing to adjust her stance to a politician with a moral argument and a positive message, who stands up for his policies and answers her questions clearly. She is getting so agitated at him not playing the game by the 'rules'.

Burnham is looking totally pissed off. I would love him to just say, "shut the fuck up and let me answer". She makes no attempt to hide her bias by trying to trip up the PM and nodding along to Philp with no challenge.

Putin is a terrorist perpetrating genocide in Ukraine and committing crimes against humanity. The Russian speaking Ukrainians of Donbas, Luhansk and Crimea were not "saved" by Russian soldiers. They endured atrocities by Russian soldiers then were sent to the front as meat waves where they died.

Kuenssberg couldn't sleep last night, imagining how she would spring "Santa Burnham" on the PM. She is crestfallen that he actually has a cogent answer, that is not a version of "it's true, poor people are wicked and must be punished".

Yes, but isn’t that Johnson’s usual modus operandi? Lie, scapegoat, or take credit for something someone else has done? Boris Johnson himself was knows by No10 insiders as the ‘shopping trolley with a wonky wheel’ - he’s pretty useless.

The BBC politics programmes have lost viewers so it’s seems to have turned to advertising itself. I’ve also noticed after a drama series (Vigil) the announcer felt the need to pleadingly say ‘This comes from YOUR BBC, making programmes for YOU’. All is not well at the corporation.

I am alarmed by the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Oleshky, a town in the temporarily occupied parts of the Kherson region of Ukraine.
Civilians, including children, are trapped without sufficient food, medicines, medical care, running water or electricity. Reports indicate that they face a high risk of death.
Under international humanitarian law, Russia, as the occupying power, has the duty to provide food and medical supplies and to facilitate humanitarian relief.
I call for an immediate local ceasefire, unhindered humanitarian access, and the safe evacuation of civilians.
The hardship and suffering of people caught along the frontlines of the war and in occupied territories demand international attention and action. #humanrights #Ukraine #Oleshky #Kherson
